    Anyone know the difference 1265 x vs. 1266 x

    I had both and could not see any difference in depth or number of finds. The 1266X had a "Spider Coil" that may of been slightly lighter.

    Big Silver / Canadian Half Dime / Very Old Printing Plate

    Very nice finds. The 1905 V nickel is noteworthy because of very little wear and is in decent dug condition.

    Nice quarter!

    Rain clouds have silver lining

    Finding Standing Liberty Quarters as your first two silver quarters ever is very nice. They just don't show up that often. Nice finds!

    Do I need permission from anyone....

    It looks like a commercial area. If you're somewhat apprehensive about it, hunt it on a Sunday afternoon or evening.

    Good find with the Etrac

    Nice find in the iron. These came tied to a new pair of shoes that Boy Scouts wore. They all have the hole in them.

    Banning of metal detecting

    There are some that do not fill their holes. When you see an area that someone has done this, it is very unsightly. I think that the unfilled hole issue can many times be attributed to squirrels and other critters This is especially true of parks and any area that has a squirrel population.

    F75 is my favorite still.

    Hunting with DST "OFF" does get a little more depth as jim tn stated, but even when it's turned off it's still a bit compromised compared to the early F75's that did not have DST. Many of the early machines were sent in for the "Boost" upgrade and were returned somewhat degraded because of the...

    Confederate Heart Breaker

    fwcrawford: That's a great catalog reference photo. Yes it's a one piece button and It's interesting because mine has all the characteristics of 2D such as spear location and dots between each word but it measures at about 0.875 which is 22mm as like the 2A.

    Confederate Heart Breaker

    I do believe you are right about the lower button now that I look at it closer. It is back stamped 'YOUNG SMITH & CO .I found two of those and I did keep one and gave the land owner the other. The bullet info is also very helpful. We don't find a lot of Civil War era type of items here in...

    Confederate Heart Breaker

    I was able to detect a former one-room schoolhouse site this week. Toward the end of the day the owner stopped by to see what I had found and I was able to show him several Indian Heads and a couple of Wheat Cents. As we were talking, he shared the history of the farm that has been in his family...

    F75 is my favorite still.

    The Spanish silver is an excellent fin. Did it ring up in the 70's ?

    Nox 900 1st V nickel

    Look for a mintmark on the reverse at the 7 o'clock position. It "may" have one.

    Hunted Out Fairground Field ?

    I hunted a fairground field fifteen years ago that was the sight of a one mile horse track that was used for harness racing from the 1870's to about 1925. When I hunted it back then I was able to find my first Silver Three-Cent Piece along with a couple of Barber Quarters and Dimes and assorted...

    Washington was at the Barber Farm today

    Yes,this fall should should produce a few more coins after the spring tilling and planting. The beans will provide a more level field for coil swinging. ;)

    Barber Farm gives up another.

    You're getting some nice coins at that site. Are you pulling very many green Indian Heads or nickels from there?

    Barber Farm finds

    Three Barber Halves in one area is almost unheard of. Hope you guys find more old ones. There could be more halves in there! Good hunting.

    One-Room Schoolhouse Sites

    I have never had much luck phoning a land owner. It's much better to talk to them in person.

    One-Room Schoolhouse Sites

    Thanks Ronstar. I have an app that will show the land owner name and address. Many of the land owners are out of towners or from out of state. When this is the case I will drive to the site and start asking at the nearby houses. Most people in the area know who farms the field and where they...
